Hillsborough County recorded 26,260 traffic crashes in 2024, resulting in 17,354 injuries and 181 fatalities, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Hit-and-run crashes accounted for 6,473 of those incidents — causing 1,614 injuries and 12 fatalities. Fletcher Avenue at Bruce B. Downs Boulevard ranks as a top crash location in recent FDOT data, and the Waters Avenue corridor in Town 'n' Country has historically held three of the county's most dangerous intersections. When insurance companies receive your claim after a Tampa crash, they immediately begin working to pay you as little as possible — including under Florida's new modified fault rules. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From the Waters Avenue corridor in Town 'n' Country to U.S. 301 and Big Bend Road in South Hillsborough to Fletcher Avenue near USF in North Tampa — we know where Tampa's most dangerous crashes happen and we know how to build a case around them. When our clients end up at Tampa General Hospital or St. Joseph's Hospital after a serious crash, we know those facilities and what that treatment means for the value of your case. Those accidents cause real damage to Tampa families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Insurance companies operating across Hillsborough County have a track record of putting their own interests ahead of Tampa accident victims who are already stretched thin. Florida's modified comparative negligence rules give them another weapon — they push your fault percentage above 50% to wipe out your claim entirely. We know how to leverage the justice system in Hillsborough County courts to fight back and get you what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT FLORIDA LEGAL INFORMATION — CAR ACCIDENTS
Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of the accident for incidents occurring on or after March 24, 2023.
No-Fault / PIP Deadline: File your PIP claim with your own insurer within 14 days of the accident. Benefits are capped at $10,000 for emergency conditions. Missing the 14-day window can forfeit those benefits.
Serious Injury Threshold: To sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, injuries must qualify as significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function, permanent injury, significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement, or death.
Comparative Negligence: Modified comparative negligence. If more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover any damages.
Insurance Minimums: $10,000 PIP required. Bodily injury liability not required for all private vehicles.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing what their case is worth beyond PIP coverage. They may use Florida's modified fault rules to argue you were mostly responsible. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery.
